10. Future actions

Sections 4 – 21 Disclosure:
The processes and systems needed for the
IR will be based
around existing practice so will meet all privacy and data
protection requirements.

The
IR will be
appointed by Scottish Ministers and will agree to all necessary
protections for handling sensitive information.

Section 22 Victim Information:
As noted above, the existing processes and systems for the
existing Victim Information Service will be used to deliver the new
powers provided by section 22 of the Bill. However, some additional
training will be provided to staff delivering the
VIS and
information about the changes will be made available for those
directly impacted and the wider public for awareness.
